Not sure this question can adequately be addressed in a forum, but here goes: I’m working on Windows XP with Photoshop CS3. I’ve got a 3D Studio Max file that has been rendered and exported as any of the following formats: JPG, TIF, PNG, BMP, etc. These files are exported without a profile (untagged).
When we open them in Photoshop, we make color adjustments and print them to a Canon 5180 printer and the color is MUCH muddier and warm than onscreen (whether we leave it untagged or assign and/or convert to Adobe RGB 1998). Granted, the monitors are not calibrated, but the image appears generally the same on a number of (uncalibrated) monitors: cool and crisp. Aside from monitor calibration, could there be anything else affecting color between the computer and printer? We’ve tried letting the printer manage colors and Photoshop manage colors, but the output is identical in both cases.
